Default not my best weekend

well this week is the wera gnf
We arrived at the track (Road Atlanta) tues night to get set up
Wednesday afternoon during a practice session i lost the front brakes at the end of the back straight (one of the scariest moments of my life) so i had a minor crash. Not too bad
well yesterday was the regional races, I was still a bit gunshy and not very fast
in the last race of the day, I was riding around in the back and all of a sudden I woke up in an ambulance!

an expert lapping me hit me while trying to make the pass

Anyway I've got a broken collarbone and a couple small bruises on my brain so I'm still in the hospital but should be released tomorrow.

ouch Woody. I hope you get well soon. How does a bike 'lose the brakes'? Lines, pads, disks, calipers, what?
